Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for August 22, 2023

Has Baldomero lied? Or do we trust and verify?

I HATE LIARS.

And gossips.

And brussell sprouts……

I will not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do

Not funny, but all too true. Better check Baldo’s homework.

Mark Twain attributed Benjamin Disraeli with saying, “There are lies, dámned lies, and statistics.”

Are you sure, Baldo?

I believe Baldo about his homework just as much as my daughter. :-D (In other words: he’s gonna have to show the evidence!)

MUDD: I lied.

NORMAN: What?

KIRK: He lied. Everything Harry tells you is a lie. Remember that. Everything Harry tells you is a lie.

MUDD: Listen to this carefully, Norman. I am lying.

NORMAN: You say you are lying, but if everything you say is a lie then you are telling the truth, but you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie. You lie. You tell the truth. But you cannot for. Illogical! Illogical! Please explain.(Smoke comes out of Norman’s head.)

NORMAN: You are human. Only humans can explain their behavior. Please explain.

KIRK: I am not programmed to respond in that area.(Norman goes blank.)

(“I, Mudd,” Star Trek TOS)

She’s right. Unfortunately.

Will you show me what you’re working on?

Dominion and Smartmatic should tell her to turn off Fox. Note that Fox shelled out nearly a billion dollars in damage to Dominion for lying.

It works the other way too. Those who aren’t deceitful don’t expect others to be and are often hurt for being too trusting.

Pretty much…..

If everyone lies, you know to beleive that the opposite is true.
